CanNor's investment supports the showcasing of Canada's North and Arctic for sustainable mining opportunities
Resource development is key to developing a strong economy that benefits everyone in the North and Arctic. The Government of Canada is continuing its work with Indigenous partners, businesses and communities to support sustainable mining and create good jobs together with Northerners and Indigenous Peoples.
Today, the Honourable Dan Vandal, Minister of Northern Affairs, PrairiesCan and CanNor, announced an investment of nearly $100,000 to support Invest Canada North at the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) Convention. Invest Canada North will connect exhibitors, investors and industry experts in Canada's northern minerals sector over the four-day event.
Supporting Invest Canada North's presence at PDAC provides an opportunity to showcase the many opportunities for sustainable mining operations and investment in Canada's North and Arctic. With growing global demand for critical minerals, increasing exposure to the economic opportunities in the territories will pave the way for new, sustainable mining projects and exploration activities, helping to launch future economic growth across the North and Arctic.
